Hey everyone, version 2.35.0 is here and it has a pretty cool update :)

Lately I've been sharing Lemmy memes with one of my friends who has Voyager. Usually we just text meme images which works and is nice and quick. But sometimes I want to link to a specific Lemmy post! Previously, I sent the direct Lemmy link, e.g. https://lemmy.world/post/29827953. However, this opens in a web browser when my friend taps the link in the text message. They could click "open in voyager" from the share menu or paste in Voyager's search, but that's a lot of work for viewing a dumb meme.

So introducing https://go.getvoyager.app/! By changing the setting "General" -> "Share Instance" to "Voyager" (will be changed to default option in a month or so), tapping "Share" on a post, comment, community etc will share a link via https://go.getvoyager.app/. Like this: https://go.getvoyager.app/lemmy.world/post/29827953.

When my friend taps the link from their text message, it will automatically open in Voyager! And if my friend doesn't have Voyager installed, it will open a preview of the link, along with options to install Voyager. Pretty slick! That's the magic of universal links.

Let me know what you think! There's more FAQ here too. In other news I'm going to be on vacation for the next few weeks if you're wondering why development will slow/pause.

NOTE: This feature is currently being rolled out to the Apple and Google stores and should be available in the next day or two. However on desktop you can try it out right now (after enabling - see below) at https://vger.app/!


This is currently in BETA, and is turned off by default. On tablets and desktop, you can turn it on in Settings -> Appearance -> Layout. (The setting won't show up on phones.)

The right column is dedicated to viewing a specific post. The left column is for the regular navigation of the app.

Pro tip: On macOS, I recommend adding Voyager to your Dock (https://vger.app/) with Safari's new "Add to Dock" feature! Check out the above screenshot - it's quite slick.

Enjoy and let me know what you think!

Hey there, I get a black screen on all tabs on the new iOS 25 Beta. When I switch to a different account by long press I can see the profile page but as soon as I tap on a tab its black again.

Interstellar already supports Piefed, Mlem and Blorp are working on it.

Will Voyager also support PieFed in the future?

OpenAPI docs are at https://freamon.github.io/piefed-api

Mlem

We’re working on adding Piefed support to Mlem 😄 Stay tuned!

Blorp

I’m sold. I’ll be adding PieFed support in the next couple months.

Issues with iOS 26 B1 (self.voyagerapp)
submitted 1 week ago* (last edited 6 days ago) by KairuByte to c/[email protected]
 
 

Wondering if anyone else is having issues with the latest dev beta? The app “works” but any sort of navigation using the tabs results in a blank screen. Can kinda work around it by going to “add” a new account then backing out immediately.

Seems to happen on direct voyager website access as well.

Edit: Screen rotation seems to work as well.

If I'm Voyager user who's lemm.ee profil is about to shut down, is there anything I should take into consideration? Instances to avoid because they are not supported? Tools or app features that would be helpful? Things like that.

Any advice will be appreciated, thanks.

When I start to type !casualeu the markdown autocomplete provides the following code:

[[email protected]](https://piefed.social/c/casualeurope)

Example:

[email protected]

This causes links to Piefed communities to open in the browser instead of in Voyager.

This format without markdown works for Lemmy, Mbin and Piefed communities:

[[email protected]](/c/[email protected])

Example: [email protected]

I usually strip away all the markdown after autocompletion, but it's a little tedious.

With the whole lemm.ee shutting down thing, there's been a lot of interest in migrating communities and user accounts to piefed

Specifically piefed.social

Take the whole [email protected] to [email protected] migration for example.

While viewing the piefed feed seems to work fine, there's an issue with adding a piefed user to Vger.

I've registered @[email protected] but I can't add that to Vger because the capcha doesn't appear.

I know piefed isn't exactly the same thing as Lemmy, but would you consider supporting adding piefed accounts?

chore: set default instance to lemmy.zip, remove lemm.ee

Thank you for all your work!

Very frustrating.

I've done this before but I forgot how to. I don't even remember if I did it with the same client. I totally can't find a way.

12
 
 

In my feed, when I see posts like https://lemmy.world/post/30432101 that are embedded image links (maybe?), when I click on the thumbnail it doesn't work, but clicking on the title to go to the post, it does.

Thumbnail click gives this and doesn't play:

Title click gives this and plays properly:

This has been happening for a little while now (days? weeks?) but I haven't tried narrowing down specifics. I'll update if I find non-i.imgur.com posts with the same issue.

Edit to add: Android, I think Edge is the embedded browser.

For some reason I keep finding many posts missing while browsing through the app as opposed to the web browser.

I don't have any user or instance blocked, am I missing something here?

14
 
 

Since yesterday (or the day before?) I'm no longer able to zoom in on images. This very annoying, especially for images that have an aspect ratio that does not match my phones'. - e.g very wide or very tall images.

15
 
 

I don't like my youtube suggestions to be altered by video links I click within voyager. I'm pretty sure I had it set so it opened into my browser for the first while I had voyager and now it isn't working . I found what seems to be the correct settings and set it each way without it changing it back to browser. Did it never work on this app and there just wasn't as much youtube links to notice it before or am I missing more settings that would fix it?

Something in the article in this post (https://lemmy.world/post/29839640) is crashing the in app browser. I’ve cleared the cache and updated the app to make sure it wasn’t that. The article renders fine in the reader but if you let it render natively something loads after a few seconds and the app crashes back to initial launch.

I’m on the latest iOS on iPad and the latest Voyager.

It would be neat to have a feature where you can show a deleted comment's content, as well as who deleted it, by fetching it in the modlogs, if available.

Lemmy and PieFed are very similar, but I think PieFed has many important features that Lemmy does not yet have, and with their focus on better UX I feel is going to make it come out ahead in the long term.

It would be great if there was a Voyager app for it.

Hello there,

I don’t know if it is a Voyager (2.34.0) problem or iOS (18.4.1) issue but since very recently, 2 weeks max, the app refresh itself almost every time you go back to it.

If you stay on a feed like home or local, scrolled down to older posts (order by newest), when you go back to Voyager 85% of the time it will reload and go back to the 1st post of the feed, thus losing your progression in the scroll addiction.

It also happens if you are inside a post instead of a feed. It happens whether you:

  • "alt-tab" (swipe up) to another application then come back later
  • Keep Voyager on the foreground and just lock your phone with the power button to enjoy life, then come back later.

It looks a lot like this bug report for android: https://github.com/aeharding/voyager/issues/1789

As I said, I don’t know if it is an iOS update or Voyager update that caused that, but it is annoying to lose your position in the doom scrolling addiction.

It is a good cure to that addiction tho.

I've seen the issue in multiple communities over time. This time I asked what the media was ("JPEG hosted on Imgur") so I could share it with the Voyager dev.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Example post: https://midwest.social/post/27709939

[email protected]

Edit: so interestingly when I clicked on the post link the image loaded for me the first time, but none of the times after that. The link to the community still shows the same "Failed to Load Media".

21
 
 

Let’s say I’m logged in lemmy.zip. I discovered there is a programming themed instance at programming.dev and would like to check out what communities are available there. I can’t do it via search; it matches the search term with community name or description but not the instance name. I can go to programming.dev on a web browser and look at its list of local communities; but then I’ll have to search for each community I’m interested in in the app to subscribe with my lemmy.zip account.

Is this doable in the app?

22
 
 

Have you ever remembered a phrase from a Lemmy post you've viewed but nothing else, and want to search it but too many results came up that you gave it up?

I feel like this problem could be decently solved by allowing sort by unread/read

Would this be feasible for Voyager, aeharding ;)

Hi, I know it might sound a bit extreme but is there a way to block every users from specific instances ? Someting like "*@shitty.instance.com" ?

I know it's possible to block instances, but you can still see comments from their users.

24
 
 

Would it be possible to make an option to flip colors somewhat as indentations occur? I think the first three colors are red/green or green/red, but can’t tell.

25
 
 

There's no option in app settings or in phone notification settings, hence I'm not receiving anything about replies/upvotes/subscriptions. I can see notifications only in app but there's no sound reminder of it so I need to check app for notifications every hour.
